Judge Clark, of Lyons, took IN
what he could of our fair, and seemed
at home among the genial farmers
mere.
The gatekeepers at the fair yester-
day were kept so busy taking IN
tickets they hardly. knew the wind
was blowing.
Miss Ella Reside and Miss Nettie
Vandervert, relatives of We editor,
came down from Larned yesterday on
a short visit.
Between the fair meeting and the
board of county commissioners Presi-
dent Carney is kept about as busy as
the editor of daily paper, but he
gets there just the same.
Owing to about all the G. A. r.
men being at the fair, the burial of
remains of VIM. Curl in our city
cemetery yesterday evening was
slimly attended by the comrades.
John Smith, of Euraka township,
spends the fair week here and says
he will take in the "circus" Saturday,
just what he means we hardly under
stand, he speaks so much by parallels.
The Sterling Bulletin says the ball
game at Lyons between Harper and
Lyons clubs, Tuesday, was "what

1t has been noticed that number

dent to report therefrom.
District court commenced yester-
day, and to day was occupied in pre-
pairing a jury. We noticed a couple
of disconsolate looking Ellinwooders
who failed to "get off," meandering
streets together like two lost orphans
away from water who keenly realized
that misery likes company"
To see every day the amount Of
wheat in wagons waiting their turns
to be unloaded at the mills here, one
can scarcely realize that Barton coun-
ty has suffered from the drouth.
Also corn selling out of the wagons
on the streees for 50 cents per bushel,
makes the matter evident that parties
insisting in the papers east, of dis
NAL failure here, are doing a tall
amount of free gratis lying.

Death On the Track,

Yesterday between 1 and 2 o'clock
p. m. VIM. Curl, aged, perhaps, 60
years, was killed almost instantly
about six miles west of Pawnee Rock,
on the Santa Fe road, by the after
noon special train going east. From
the best we can learn, he was return
ing from Larned with some goods and
groceries in his wagon; it is thought
his horses became unmanageable DIS
the train approached and started
across the track in front of the en-
CINE He was caught on the pilot,
being knocked senseless, and so horri-
bly, mangled that it required some
time to identify him. In fifteen min
utes his life had passed away. The
wagon was completely demolished and
one of the horses killed.
Mr.. Curl resided in the edge of
Stafford county, about twelve miles
southwest of Great Bend, was a
member of the q. A. r. post here,
and the remains will come in on the
east bound train this evening to be
laid in our city cemetery by the COM
rades of the Post. With the except
ion of his son in Stafford county, it is
said he has no relatives here.

GoULD's SHATTERED NERVES
How He Jumped While on the
Way to IryingtOn.

The fact that Jay Gould is starting on
a European trip does not surprise dwell
erS on the banks of the Hudson, who,
during the past few weeks, have seen
the redoubtable wizard travelling to and
from his country place at Irvington.
They have noticed that his nerves are
by no means of the best, and the rumor
that a private detective always keeps
near him is only in accordance with
what they have at times noticed
The least unexpected noise makes him
Jump. About three weeks ago party
of friends were travelling up the Hud-
son, and one of the party called the at
tention of the rest of quartet who was
sitting near them:
"NOw'S your chance for tip on
Western Union" said one. There are
Jay and George Gould, MorOsini and
NOryin Green"
The tip was not demanded, but the
quartet was regarded with some inter
est. Jay Gould was sitting next the
window and kept looking about him in
a nervous manner. Still talking about
the Wizard and his friend, the party
got out and one of them, as the train
started, was casually brandiShing
stick. AS the ear passed him he gave it
a hit with his stick. a good, stout black
thorn. 1t happened to be just where
Gould was seated. The jump he gave
drew the attention of the party on the
platform. One said as the train diSap-
peared:

SWITCH-THROWING ANNIE.
The Only Girl Employed by a
Railroad i'm the Country.

Milwaukee has a curious figure in the
person of a female ''switchman." Her
name is Switch Annie" and she is in
the employ of the Chicago, Milwaukee
Il st. Paul company. She has the honor
of being the only female exponent of
the art of throwing switches in the
country. The work is masculine. but the
worker is feminine from the sole of her
sensible Walking-shOe to the top of her
shapely head, possessed of the beauty
of an English dairy maid and the muscle
of blacksmith.
The eleven switches which she looks
after are out near the stock yards and
include the most important points in
the yards. They were formerly in
Grautner. For years Annie was his
assistant, helping him almost from the
time she was large enough to throw the
SWitch-leyer. Then she was advanced
to regular assistant.
The old man was easily ''rattled,o but
Annie. never. Her GOODNESS and deX-
terity have saved many a loss to the
company, while for herself she was
never known to make a mistake. The
Chicago Times records this instance of
Annie's pluck and deXterity, whereby
a serious accident was ayerted last
year:
By the way. it must be explained that
there is down grade from the west to-
ward the switch Shanty. On the Occa-
sion in question heavy freight train
was coming down at full speed. As it
neared one of the switches the engineer
was Mortified to find that=it was turned
wrong. The clear, gliStening iron lines
sparkled mischievOusly in the sunlight
up to the switch. There they broke
sharp off. Beyond was wreck and dan
ger.
The engineer whiStled for brakes, re-
versed his engine, sanded the track in
an endeayOr to check the .pOnderous
mass behind him. The wheels Kissed,
snapped and cracked as they endeav-
ored to get reverse on the treacherOuS
rails. but in vain. Annie was in the
house at the time. fifty yards from the
track. The whistle for brakes brought
her to the door. A single glance showed
her the danger, and her father was hob
| bling toward the switch.
With a bound she Sprang from the
doorstep and sped down the grassy path.
| Over the log fOot-bridge that Spanned a
dip in the field she flew. up on a track
| The switch was still twenty to thirty
yards away. Needless of the danger,
| for if the train left the track she was
certain TO be crushed, intent only on her
| duty, the faithful girl ran on. Nearer
the engine came, creaking and grOan-
| ing.
Just as the wheels touched the last
rail Annie reached the switch. One
hand pulled the pin, the other turned
! the lever and the switch was set right
with less than ten feet to spare. The
| train rushed on in safety. with Annie
breathless but triumphant, waving a sa-
lutte to the crew without thought of
| having done the least thing heroic.

WATER UP HIS SLEEVE.
A Trick of the Italian Milkmel
Played Before Ones Eyes.


A correspondent of a Boston paper,
writing from Rome, says:
Il noticed some days that my milk
was very, very thin. | had stood by
while it was MIXED; what, then. could
be the cause? Was it that the cows
drank too much water? | would have
been compelled to adopt this solution
but for a discovery that soon hap
pened. When | came across nv
cowman the second or third evening he
was milking for an Italian, and l was
surprised when l saw this latter sud
denly step up to the cowman and squeeze
him by the arm. As surprising as was
this action, however, the result was still
more sO-a stream of water was elected
from the cOwman'S sleeve, and / then
understood how milk can be watered be-
fore ones very eyes without ones de-
tecting it.
II happened 10 mention this incident
to the American consul, and he assured
me the trick was quite common. A bag
of water is kept under the coat and let
down through rubber tube in the
sleeve; when detected, a shrug of the
shoulders, a Santa Maria, what differ
ence? and pure milk for the sharp eyes !;
and when not detected, he laughs In his
